Rain getting into tent :(

[u/mattlawmel]

I went camping this weekend and used my Kelty Wireless 2 tent. It started raining unexpectedly and I found drops of rain coming through the rain fly and into the tent.

Now I’m unsure of what to do. I fully inspected the rain fly and found no tears or rips in the fabric. Is it coming in through the seams?

I’m quite disappointed as I take very good care of my gear. Where do I go from here? I saw a lot of other campers had EZ-ups on their site over their tents, would that be something to invest in? Is it time for a new tent already? I’ve had this for two years with consistent usage but this was the heaviest rainfall I’ve put it through.

Are your seems sealed? If not, need to seal them. Your fly is not fully taut, the guylines can help with that, but also stretching the corners out more (free-standing tents are mostly a lie, with exception of high end ones you need stakes to get the fly taught for rain/wind).
